  • :j Thanks for the info. Have just booked room at London hotel taking my Mum as a treat. 77% discount.
    Phoned hotel direct and receptionist on phone really helpful, went for standard room as superior didn't sound that much better except had bath robes, the receptionist then said she would make a note to include robes in our room!! Mum will love it!

    :T What a deal.... As soon as I read this post I rang my cousin with the details as she likes to get her mum out whenever she can, usually managing a few days in a Blackpool hotel.

    She's just booked a night in a £235 room for £4.50 as her mum is....... 98yrs old!!!!

    The lady on the phone was quite shocked and amused and said that they didn't think that someone of that age would actually take up the offer. Actually my cousin and aunt wanted 2 nights but apparently the offer is only available for a 1 night stay on room rate only and not inc meals. So they have secured and paid in advance the total of £4.50 for a large queen bedded room with its own lounge. As her passport had expired (and she dosn't drive!) they were told it was OK to use my aunts photo bus pass as I.D. as these don't expire, so is still actually valid even though the photo is 33yrs old!!

    To celebrate the deal I am joining them both for an evening meal (£15 for 3 courses) at their Manchester Malmaison hotel. We only live quite local but my aunt will be thrilled and feel like the queen mum in her posh room...

    Thanks and Well done Money Expert!! :j

    Hehe, that's fantastic! :-)

    Hope she has a great time! 33 year-old photo though...jeez!!!

    I think the point you've missed is that if you're a young man with this offer, you haven't got the freedom to take up the offer, because you're not allowed...

    Wakey wakey, Pete.... Mother's Day promo...!!! :T
    If I've made a grammatical error and you're pointing it out, I'd just like to say :T "Thanks" in advance. You big person, you ;)
  • I've been trying to book this but been on hold for nearly 20 minutes now!! "PLease be patient, we know what it's like to be on hold" is wearing VERY thin now.... :L

  • thats a bit annoying - i was planning on booking manchester malmaison for friday the 29th and then saw this offer and got all excited but it wont help me save money as im only 25 :mad:

    i think i will stay at the 4* premierapartments instead as i can get that for £70 and it will annoy me now staying at the malmaison as i would know lots of people paid far less than me.

    Same here yummymummy! I also live in Manchester and was gonna go for this one too but am 26 yrs old. Sooo not worth it, although 1% off more than you lol :p
  • omg this is only my second post on this site, i could not leave with out saying you are all soooo funny, why get so annoyed it is just a promo it is not the end of the world i never had so much fun reading posts on here before, thank you all for sharing your moans, it is an offer for everyone to look through no one is making you use it, and congrats to all of you that have a great deal booked with them. i myself am only 27yrs but good to know there are great offers to the people who have been around long enough to enjoy them and have work hard enough to deserve it,
    take care all.x:T

    What's the problem, this is a promotion for MOTHER'S DAY celebrations!

    I suppose when blokes can do 40 hours labour and then push the baby out, tearing in half (or thereabouts) in the process, having stitches all the way up to their bums for weeks and not be able to sit down or sleep through the night for several months ahead, when they have to have their tits mangled to smithereens to feed the baby ETC ETC ETC (I could see a rant developing, here, so I shall stop while I'm winning LOL),

    THEN

    they will be able to claim a discount for Mother's Day!

    Madam, it's not an illness you know. You don't have to have them!!:wink:

    Lots of rants by many who can't even spell what they are waxing lyrical about...
    It's "discrimination" not "descrimination".

    Sorry I'm Dyslexic and sorry if my spelling is not great - I hope you don't descrimanate me for that...

    If they are only giving the age discount to women, this amounts to sexual discrimination, and can have serious consequences.
    What you means like discouraging grumpy men from their hotels:rotfl:

    Try thinking about people that don't have enough to eat and realise how lucky you are to be complaining about this.
  • Some hotel should do a different version of this promotion:

    Normal price = £100
    Men get 50% off
    Heterosexuals get a further 25% off
    Christians get a further 40% off
    White Europeans get a further 15% off
    The price is doubled for 1 legged, lesbian dwarves.

    See what the reactions is.
    If you don't like what I say slap me around with a large trout and PM me to tell me why.
